Scenario:

• A centos 7 client is registered to a Red Hat Satellite and consumes all centos and rhel content from it. No outside network access is allowed for the client.
• With subscriptions being created for each product it is common for a user to have ALL centos repos under the same product. With a single subscription providing all centos repos or with Simple Content Access (SCA) enabled, a client of Satellite will get all versions of centos available (excluding registration and activation key settings).
• This will cause a centos 7 system to fail the latest kernel check for a kernel version that is not applicable to the host's OS and ultimately fail the conversion.

With each major release of centos linked to a new major version of a kernel, we should only be testing for the latest version of the major version applicable to the host that is converting.

IE:

• centos 7 checks for kernel-3* only
• centos 8 checks for kernel-4* only
• centos 9 checks for kernel-5* only
• etc

If this is not possible, then the statement in the official documentation in chapter 3, step 7, sub-step ii should illustrate a stricter requirement to have centos major release in different products and/or configure an activation key to 'override disable' non-matching centos repos that don't match the same major release of the host.
